40 of the most admired poets who died of AIDS are remembered in a new and groundbreaking collection. From Reinaldo Arenas, Tory Dent and James Merrill to Paul Monette, Essex Hemphill and Joe Brainard, Persistent Voices memorialises these poets and many others by presenting their work - often dealing with AIDS but also other enduring topics - in the context of an unending epidemic that has profoundly affected global literature.
